Global Brand Campaign Created for AkzoNobel Yacht Coatings by Meijer & Walters
Meijer & Walters created a global brand campaign for AkzoNobel’s Yacht Coating products.
For the Love of Boating
Global Brand Campaign for AkzoNobel Yacht Coatings
AkzoNobel asked Meijer & Walters to create a campaign for their yacht coating products.
AkzoNobel has a full range of product brands: Awlgrip, International / Interlux, and Sea Hawk. These brands deliver different products, but they share one goal: support boaters with everything that helps them maintain the high-quality performance of their boats.
In their turn, the various customers, have something in common as well: their love for boating. To connect the different brands in one campaign, Meijer & Walters created a communication platform with one unified message and visual style. Let’s take a closer look at how they developed this layered project.
B2B Is Still about People and Feelings
Even B2B clients are people with feelings and passion. That’s why they decided to communicate with ‘people’ instead of ‘businesses’. Meijer & Walters appeal to their feelings of boating life. The pride, the confidence, the brilliance, and the shine, and the love for boating.
And how better to talk about feelings than with a poem? Meijer & Walters created one for this campaign:
It’s the freedom of the blue
Chasing the horizon
It’s the splashing of the waves
The taste of sweet and salt
It’s the wind in your hair the smell of
sunny days
It’s the smoothness, it’s the feel
The pride, the confidence
that all is right
It’s the brilliance and the shine
The light
That’s the love for boating
It’s our heart, our core
It’s the expertise and dedication
Improving
Tailoring
Always innovating
It’s above and below
And definitely beyond
It’s that feeling that we share
That feeling
In short, Meijer & Walters built a campaign that addresses THAT FEELING.
